Inspection Report Summary for Mt Carmel Home – Keens Memorial
The most recent inspection on November 16, 2023, found the facility in compliance with licensure renewal requirements and no deficiencies were noted. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern with several citations related primarily to resident care issues such as delayed call light responses, care plan revisions after resident altercations, and medication administration, as well as environmental and safety concerns including fire safety code violations and housekeeping deficiencies. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though some substantiated findings involved delayed call light responses and failure to revise care plans to prevent resident altercations. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean renewal inspection suggests improvement compared to prior years when deficiencies were more frequent.
